These are by far the best cave creatures on mobile.
Baryonyx
The Baryonyx is a large crocodile-like predator. While it might lack in attack power, its ability to swim extremtly fast makes it a fierce opponent — especially with its ability to travel on both land and in water.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Baryonyx in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Don't try to grab a wild one out of the water...
If you have this boi upgrade the go and stamina and start hunting and bullying some brontos and carboneyms but hey this guy is the easiest way to get prime meat
Don’t get in the water with these crazy mofos They will stun a lv 200 killed my lv 199 tree in a river
These guys are pretty common around swamps, and sometimes you will find one along a beach. To tame them just make a 1x2 trap. I’ll list the items that I used; 2 wooden foundations (wood is just the minimum, I recommend stone.), 6 wood door frames, and a wooden ramp (this…
These guys are pretty common around swamps, and sometimes you will find one along a beach. To tame them just make a 1x2 trap. I’ll list the items that I used; 2 wooden foundations (wood is just the minimum, I recommend stone.), 6 wood door frames, and a wooden ramp (this is just for the trap). You will need around 1 tranq arrow per level, or one tranq dart per 5 lvls (Make sure to shoot their head with tranq darts). Depending on the level and taming effectiveness, the amount of narcotics and food needed may vary. I would just bring however much food/narcotics you feel comfortable with bringing ( I would recommend raw prime fish meat, but if you have a lot of narcos you can use normal fish meat).
Thanks for reading, even though it’s pretty long. If I get 25 ups I will make a kapro taming guide!

1. Bola or put down a bear trap and get it stuck
2. Put 4 fence foundations down and then 4 doorways or walls around the Barry
3. Shoot it full or tranq darts (in the head with a crossbow and arrows works good if you don’t have a gun and darts)
It worked for me and a lvl…

It worked for me and a lvl 280 Barry hope this helps!
Midgame Mvp. amazing for caves, swimming, walking, and literally anything else. you can find them in swamps, tranqulise them and use fish, meat wont work. Happy taming and have an amazing day.
When going to caves, bring a Baryonyx because they can fit in most caves and they good damage and stuns creatures.
It can also outrun you on land unless you have a lot of points pumped into movement speed.
They didn’t update it yet but yes bolas affect the bary, even if it doesn’t say it. You basically have to have it run at you and you’ll be good.
To the people who say bola does not work ,I tested it and it works on mobile
I always trap these under my wyverns and then tranq them so I don't have to build traps.
If your exploring the central cave and get low hp from all the insects and titanoboas and megalosauruses, you can go to the pond near the artifact and kill a whole swarm of piranhas to regain hp.
Can u pick up Bary with an Argy??? Click the forwards facing arrow ( I had to word it weird ) if yes, down if no. Tysm
If you are playing ark mobile or switch the bary did not get his change and you can still pick it up whit an argy and bola it
To all the people saying climb on a rock and shoot it with tranq arrows let me tell you all you need is bola and some tranqs. Then you should be all set.

YOU CAN NOT TRAP THEM WITH SMALL BEAR TRAPS
Bringing a simple raft cage to the swamp should allow you to easily trap and transport this guy to an appropriate area to knockout and tame.
For some reason (bug?) you can’t be damaged while driving the raft, even when this guy is standing on top of you! (PC)
They can still be completely wrecked by the giany squid. Watch yourself, as they are not truly the king of the seas like everyone would have you believe.
